Meadville High School basketball Lady Eagles senior sniper Paige Carvajal gets a 3-points shot attempt off just before the arrival of a Green City defender during the teams’ Class 1 state tournament sectional-round game at Meadville a week ago Monday. Last Friday, a more-talented, taller Cairo team made sure she and classmate Korrie Holcer rarely had even this much room or time to try to take their long-range shots or any others, limiting them to a combined three treys and 19 points – about 25 points less than their composite scoring averages. That successful strategy was a crucial factor in Cairo’s 71-58 quarterfinals-round triumph that both ended MHS’ season after 28-straight victories and snapped the Lady Eagles’ 2-seasons, 59-games winning streak.
